“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. (Luke 12:35-36 ESV)
There are times when Jesus pulled His disciples away from the pressures of ministry and life to rest, but leisure can become addictive. It is the new American pasttime. Rather than waiting for the Master to return so we can celebrate and find true rest, we have "gone on with life" almost forgetting He exists and is coming back, substituting our own partying and resting. We ought to be living life waiting for Him to knock, ready to warmly embrace Him, and celebrate with Him as we ehar what He has been doing, and talk with Him about what we have been doing(knowning He already knows, but thrilled that He is interested, ready to hear all about it). Let's live watching and waiting for Him.
